I know I'm not around here a lot, but I think I'd just post this here...I know it's not good at all, but I'd appreciate any suggestions.

This is not bad at all for a start.
I like the face and hair, but i think you could mix in some sharper and harder wrinkles on the cloth. Study some of your own cloth to learn how wrinkles on clothing works. you could add highligts on the boots to simulate leather material. I think both feets looks weird because of it's shape.
It also lacks a lot of hard shadows. If you for example worked out where the light is
comming from and added a shadow on the ground
you would get more feeling of weigth.
Hope this can help you in any way.
Good luck

I agree with Micke on this one, it's a wonderful start. Some anatomy issues pop up for me. Namely muscle structure in the shoulders (seems a tad big) But the biggest thing is that the pose looks to stiff. When you're doing a pose, in the sketching phase) overexaggerate the movement. Inherently when you go back and clean it up, it'll stiffen up a bit and turn out okay. If you don't...it looks like a robot
Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the kind comments. Be sure I'm still working on this piece.

And the weak definition of shadows is my bane-in pencil and CPU art
